Artist's Comments

This is a semi abstract impression of the Grand Pacific Glacier in Alaska's Glacier Bay. The ice front is 200 feet high and a mix of translucent blues and greens. The ice makes groaning,cracking noises as it moves and distorts and huge sections break free with a thunderous rumble.
Thanks to DarthFar for suggesting saran wrap or cling film to us Brits. I used salt on parts and scraped the paint with a credit card in others.
Sometimes it's nice to have a change and let watercolour do exactly what it wants. :)

Excellent, the cling film really provided a neat texture too.

Alaska is a wonderful subject, no?

I love it, gorgeous colours

Saran wrap is a fabulous tool. ^_^

It's just glacier like enough to give a chilled feeling and a craving for hot cocoa. Very nice.

That is utterly awesome! :clap: Love the textures (that Saran wrap thing came out beautifully), the colours, and the overall feel (it actually feels cold).

The variety of shades in ice is beautiful; this captures them very well.
